Firefly Scout Field Notes

This is where I share field notes from the work of navigating a complex, heart-led life, blending personal experience with practical insight.

You’ll find thoughtful essays, practical frameworks, and experience-based guidance — rooted in real life, nervous-system awareness, and pattern noticing.

These aren’t personal diary entries or quick takes. They’re reflections meant to help you orient, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move forward with more clarity and ease.

Take what’s useful. Leave the rest.

Celebrate

Today would have been my mom’s 71st birthday. This is one of my favorite pictures of her and I keep a copy by my desk. It was taken 30 years ago and I’m the same age as her in this photo. That feels completely weird to say, that anything that feels so close to my heart could be three decades old.

Change our hearts

Today I want to talk about our hearts, and opening them to change. Did you know that the heart develops before the brain? It is our first source of energy. We don't have consciousness yet, but it establishes a knowing within us.

You are not alone

A common theme I'm hearing (and experiencing) is feeling like we're in a low point. The celebration of the holidays (though different this year) still brought something to look forward to, even if it was just putting 2020 behind us. The days are feeling long and the year stretching out endlessly before us. The optimism and hope we carried as we set our resolutions is wearing thin. We're feeling that sense of depression and anxiety, whispering sweet terror like "I thought things would be different by now" or "How am I going to keep going?"
